The worst part about the scam I’m describing in this video is that I searched up the guys IP address after and he literally was from Nigeria. I literally got scammed by a Nigerian prince.

idk if it counts as a scam but audio companies like unison audio who promote extremely bad plugins for extreme amounts of money could steal the money of a beginner producer who doesn't know whats good or bad

Or Unison midi chord pack. Most DAWs have built in chord stamps

what about 90% of youtube producers who have no idea what their talking about yet feel the need to make tutorials, thereby spreading misinformation and bandaid fixes, misguiding new producers and creating an oversaturated industry of degrading quality? Doesn't cost money, but some people their progress or even future carrier.

The worst part is often, these people know what they're doing in editing (or hire someone who does) which helps their false credibility a lot.

Not really a scam though as you're not paying for it, if you don't like the tutorial simply stop watching it...

Honestly, I purchased a collab with a big underground producer, sent him loops, and it actually got placed with a big rapper which was super sick and I’m incredibly grateful for. But I thought that was the sauce so I did it again and quickly realized that it is def not the best way to go about placements😭

I've been producing for 10 years, and I've seen at least one of these. Honestly, I've been a freelancer for 3 years, and no matter what you do there's someone trying to snake you. I've never actually paid anything big. Just 50 bucks once through PayPal. I got a refund when they never delivered through PayPal.

I’ve dealt with each one of these scams. They seem to be getting more and more creative with how they are crafting these emails. If I hadn’t noticed the fee that they through in at the end of the email is the biggest one, along with the promising a placement when you do paid collabs. I never fully understood paid collabs. So, I’m glad that you are making this video.

It's important to also know that you don't even need to necessarily be "scammed" but people can also simply steal your music and reupload it for themselves. This happened to me and I had to threaten to take the artist and label to court in order for them to remove my song from their accounts and to remove the content ID that made my song say it was theirs.

Honestly I bought your course awhile back, like right when it came out, and I learned so much from it. It actually really helped me jumpstart my music production knowledge. The problem was I’m a brokey and couldn’t actually afford it. So I sped through the course learning as much as I could from it, and got the no questions asked refund you offered on it. I can’t thank you enough for offering the knowledge and if I could afford it I would give you back twice as much money. I can definitely say your course was NOT a scam and I apologize for getting the refund. But I gotta pay rent bro! ❤ one day I’ll pay you back tho promise

@xmgaming2444 Ай бұрын

imo if you're gonna pay money to learn how to better produce music, one on one lessons seem more valuable than generalized courses. Maybe you already know half of the course content going into it but the other half is new info, well, if you just find a producer doing lessons out there, you can just focus in on what you don't know and get more value for your time and money. But also, if you REALLY want to learn from a specific person and they only do courses, that could still absolutely be worth it to get a better feel for their particular workflow, philosophy, etc
